Very glad and grateful for the tremendous rescue of the 12 Thai boys and their Mentor – magnificent. No, I’m not forgetting the millions of Yemeni children being starved to death by the Saudis/USA, nor the suffering of Palestinian children and Syrian children. The world must act, I’m only one person.

I know – I pointed this out yesterday to the discomfort of some posters when I highlighted the involvement of British divers in the rescue attempt.
” Oooh,why just concentrate on them ” they whined.
Anyway,Twitter campaign launched to award George Cross to the two Brits who actually found the kids last week.
It took some guts for all those involved to dive into the unknown dangers.
Fair play to them.

i think sterling’s being unfairly criticised. he’s never been all that composed in front of goal, but he caused havoc among the swedish defence – so did his job well. having said that, i’d like to see more of rashford – genuine young talent

Me too
I just wonder we hear all about rights in Thailand poverty and the harsh life for many
We hear about their trafficking their prostitution and all that goes with a country where they do not have the rights and the services we pay for
Saying all that, I just wonder could we ever cope with such a terrible situation
Overnight from day one the services kicked in I was in admiration of the compassion the courage and decency of how Thailand handled this
Those heroes did the impossible and I look at Thailand in an envious light for what they did

Will it make much difference ?
Most of the Irish media is a subservient,unquestioning lap-dog of the political establishment.
The serried ranks of Irish Times goons like Fintan O’Toole and Una Mullally might carp and pontificate but ultimately they all feed on scraps handed down to them.
The Examiner is just a local rag chronicling the detritus of petty crime and parish pump politics out in the sticks.
The rest are Denis O’Brien’s useful idiots and RTE simply a state-funded poodle that has consistently failed to uncover the scandalous corruption that lies at the heart of power in Dublin.
Vincent Browne is the last of the true attack-dog hacks and he lost his marbles ages ago.
Either way newspapers are dying on their botty.

Another thing is his age
If he dies during another term and he is hardly a spring chicken ,who will pay for another election?
Maybe if he takes out a insurance policy for the eventuality that if the worst thing happens Joe public has to fork out again for another election paid for by himself so the taxpayer is not caught for another few million
Its time he made way for another president this time opening up the candidate process to all not just those proposed by the establishment

Bertie
He has been in office for 7 years
Its time for another face and lets face it his age
Its the elephant in the room but lets face it we are talking millions of euros of taxpayers money unless you want to stump up the cost?
I doubt his pension would be one tenth of the cost of another election and his salary is taxed so the revenue gets a return from it
